Climate Change Could Release World-Ending Super Bacteria

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Strains of a "superpower" bacteria that could cause the world's next deadly pandemic have been discovered by scientists in Antarctica.

Researchers found that the bacteria have a built-in resistance to antibiotics that could make current treatments useless.

The Chilean researchers made the discovery during research into how climate change could affect the spread of bacteria that had been frozen in ice for thousands of years.

They warned that climate change means the bacteria will have the potential to spread beyond polar regions, with potentially catastrophic consequences.

3. If it spread worldwide I am not sure that it would be a great loss.

Maybe the earth needs a restart without a self-destructive species in charge.

4. It's inevitable...

That something in the natural world will do us in with our help.

Always seemed like the scenario to worry about most. People would try to migrate from weather related disaster areas (with limited effectiveness) but a "plague" cant be outrun. As we've seen. There's just been some treatment for covid.
